Its key benefit lies in its adaptability for everyday wear and light off-road adventures, offering a secure fit and comfortable cushioning.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

The Glenclyffe Low shoes are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails and urban environments due to their VIBRAM® sole and cushioning. They are not designed for technical or rugged terrain that requires significant ankle support.

How do I adjust the speed lacing?

Simply pull the toggle to tighten the laces for a secure fit. To loosen, press the release button usually located near the toggle and pull the laces.

What does 'low profile' mean for these shoes?

Low profile means the shoes have a shallow construction that sits close to the ground, ideal for agility and a streamlined look, but with less emphasis on ankle coverage or support compared to high-top boots.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The synthetic upper offers water resistance, making them suitable for light rain or damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not perform well in prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

What is the benefit of the EVA insole?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) insole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during extended wear.

How much recycled material is used?

The product is partially made from recycled materials, aligning with an eco-friendly strategy. Specific percentages are not detailed but contribute to reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tight

Ensure the speed lacing toggle is fully engaged. If it feels loose, check the internal mechanism or consider replacing the speed lacing system.

Slight discomfort after initial wear

This is normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the fit is correct; adjust the speed lacing for optimal comfort.

Traction feels reduced on very wet surfaces

While VIBRAM® offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris. For critical wet conditions, exercise caution.

Synthetic upper feels warm

The synthetic material prioritizes durability and water resistance. For maximum breathability in hot weather, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Consider alternative footwear for extremely high temperatures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for both urban and light trail use
  • Comfortable cushioning with EVA insole
  • Excellent grip and durability from VIBRAM® sole
  • Quick and easy adjustment with speed lacing
  • Breathable and flexible synthetic upper
  • Partially constructed with recycled materials

Cons

  • Low-profile design may not offer sufficient ankle support for rugged terrain
  • Synthetic upper may not be as breathable as natural materials in extreme heat
  • Speed lacing may require adjustment for optimal fit on uneven ground
  • Limited insulation for very cold weather activities
  • May require specific cleaning for synthetic materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Glenclyffe Low shoes feature a speed lacing system. To put them on, loosen the laces slightly, insert your foot, and then pull the toggle to tighten the laces to your desired fit. Ensure the toggle is secured to prevent loosening during activity.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult wear. They are suitable for a range of activities including walking, casual hiking, and everyday urban use. While they are made with durable materials, they are not intended for extreme mountaineering or highly technical off-road conditions that require substantial ankle support.

Care: To clean the synthetic upper and VIBRAM® sole, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. For best results, clean after each significant use to maintain material integrity and appearance.
